======================================

it looks like you once have written a script for getting “Zork: The Grand Inquisitor” to run under Windows XP. It used to be hosted on http://www.km3k.com/downloads/zgixp.cmd but isn’t there any more.

If you are indeed the author of this script, could you maybe put it up again or just mail it to me? It’s that I keep getting this “Insert CD” error.

Kind regards,

Robin
